The Arch architecture doesn't fit everyone. In particular, a
colleague and I used tla to shoot changes back and forth rapidly.
We ended up with a history with at least 40% merge detritus. git
doesn't bother recording merge information when the merge is
trivial (a fast-forward of one history to match another). That
fit our working model and my mental model better.
Generally, git tracks contents rather than changes. That's how
my head works as well, so most git functions do what I expect and
want. Any technical differences are insignificant in comparison.
Git and Mercurial archives can exist on the far side of a "dumb"
transport like http. They're not ideal necessarily, but they
function well enough.
